From a Christian standpoint, everyone is a child of God, and Jesus wants everyone to know Him and the love He has them. For someone in a different religion than Christianity, they would have to repent, and convert to Christianity because Jesus does want everyone to join Him in Heaven.
Honestly though, you can’t push your friend. It’s best to share God’s love with him and live like you know God. When you do that, your happiness will radiate. My advice, I would talk about this with your pastor or a priest you are close with to determine the best way to go about it. But if you try and push your friend, it will only alienate him further. Continue asking him to join you at a mass, but respect his decision if he declines. You never know, he might take the leap one day!
